\u00a0All the kids thought it was hilarious &#8211; and then the glorious silence of small children who are too busy eating to talk!<\/p>\n<p>This is incredibly easy. \u00a0Just make sure you give yourself enough time for the cookie to cool before you frost it. \u00a0You can use homemade sugar cookie dough, but a log of store-bought cookie dough saves time and is just as good. \u00a0Decorate with any fruits you like &#8211; the more colorful the better! &#8211; but if you think you might have a lot of leftovers, save really delicate or juicy fruits &#8211; like kiwi, mandarin oranges, or bananas &#8211; until you are ready to eat it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Fruit Pizza<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough<\/li>\n<li>6 ounces softened cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>2 &#8211; 4 tablespoons milk (optional, to thin out the frosting)<\/li>\n<li>squeeze of lemon (optional, but I like a more balanced frosting)<\/li>\n<li>2 cups sliced fruit of your choice &#8211; berries, halved grapes, sliced kiwi, mandarin oranges, whatever you like &#8211; the more colorful, the better!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 350*F. \u00a0Cover your largest baking sheet (or a pizza stone!) with parchment paper. \u00a0Spread out the cookie dough into a big circle. \u00a0(I put a plastic baggie over my hand because the dough was sticking and it worked well.) \u00a0Flatten to about 1\/4&#8243; thick. \u00a0Bake until lightly golden &#8211; it took about 22 minutes for me. \u00a0Keep in mind &#8211; the dough will spread a lot! \u00a0If you don&#8217;t have a very large baking sheet, you may want to make your pizza oval-shaped, just so it doesn&#8217;t climb up the sides of your baking sheet when it spreads. \u00a0Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.<\/li>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, \u00a0vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. \u00a0If you would like a smoother frosting, add a tablespoon of milk at a time, until you reach your desired texture. \u00a0Also you can add a squeeze of lemon (it balances out the sweetness.)<\/li>\n<li>When the cookie crust is cool, cover with the frosting, but leave a border around the edges (so you can see the pizza &#8220;crust&#8221;). \u00a0Decorate with sliced fruit and serve. \u00a0Keep refrigerated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Explore, experiment, enjoy!<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Dana<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>To view even more of Dana\u2019s unique recipe, you can visit her at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/frugalgirlmet.blogspot.com\/\">Frugal Girlmet<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My daughter turned four last week, and we had her friends over for an old-school birthday party: \u00a0pizza, some play time, and cake. \u00a0Except&#8230;instead of cake&#8230;I presented her with another pizza: \u00a0this Fruit Pizza!
